Q: 3. How does it compare to the Tamron 24-75mm 2.4? Is the Tamron worth getting though it costs an extra $650 (since the FE costs $200 in bundle with the A7iii) ?

A: The continuous f2.8 throughout the zoom range is an obvious advantage over the f3.5-5.6 variable maximum aperture of the Sony lens. Nevertheless the Sony lens is a capable performer and certainly a steal for just $200 more in the A7III kit. Many think of the Tamron as a reasonable alternative to the superb but very expensive Sony 24-70mm 2.8 GM. Given the three choices, and the fact that the camera is $2000, the decision to spend an extra $650 for the Tamron is one that is extremely popular.

A: When the aperture is set to F5.6 or smaller (F5.6 to F22) the aperture will be constant throughout the zoom range. This lens however does not have constant aperture throughout the zoom range when wide open at F3.5.From 28mm to about 32mm* the widest possible aperture is F3.5From about 32mm* to about 40mm* the widest possible aperture is F4From about 40mm* to about 51mm* the widest possible aperture is F4.5From about 51mm* to about 64mm* the widest possible aperture is F5From about 64mm* to about 70mm* the widest possible aperture is F5.6*I am guessing about the focal lengths here as there are no markings on the lense at the exact points where the aperture changes during the zoom.
